Join The Beacon for Thursday Shine the Light, as we bring our voices to the street every Thursday from 12:00-12:30 PM.
(NOTE NEW EARLIER TIME!)

Each week, we make our voices heard wherever we are. As beacons, we shine light by making a sign and bringing it outside. Don't have a sign? Don't worry! You can borrow one of ours.

Together, we are building visible resistance and organized compassion, meeting our neighbors, and joining together in acts of solidarity. We find joy in resistance through community, music, comedy and street theater.

Across the country, communities are organizing to disentangle local law enforcement from federal immigration enforcement. Here in Nassau County, families continue to live in terror of separation, detainment, detention and deportation.

We stand weekly in opposition to this unprecedented assault on the rights, safety, and economic security of people in this country. For 30 minutes every Thursday, we say ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES! ICE OUT FOR GOOD! and we stand in favor of compassionate democracy and against cruelty, fear and despair.

There are Beacon groups all over the USA. Our local Great Neck group meets every Thursday from 6:00-6:30 pm. We are joined by the Singing Resistance Great Neck to sing songs of solidarity and resistance, old and new.
